Default New CTS (8-12oz) Pic's

Well,

I broke down last week and got one of the new CTS Blanks that Fishsticks4u is exclusively carrying. They have 3 exclusive blanks that only they are carrying; 1) Rated 3-6oz 2) 6-10oz and 3) 8-12oz.

I went ahead and got the 8-12oz blank and glad I did as the others they had blew out pretty fast at the rod show.

The rod is super light and will flat out throw. I tossed 14oz with it and it had no problems, and loads perfectly fine with 8oz as well. All blanks they had come in the first batch were a beautiful Hi-Gloss Cobalt Blue.

I just picked mine up from my rod builder and had it built to the following:

Fuji reel seat at 29" to bottom of reel seat
Black Diamond Shrink Wrap
ALPS Guides
Wrapped in Steel Blue under wrap with Blue and a hint of yellow trim.

Here's some pic's, can't wait to go throw and fish with it soon!

Get the CTS, you will not regret it!

It is light as a feather and will flat out smoke it!

Problem is getting the blanks from Fishsticks4u, before they run out again. Everytime they get a new order of CTS in, they are selling out faster than you can blink an eye!
